FAQs
What size fuel lines are compatible with these connectors?
These connectors are designed for 8mm nylon pipe and 7.5mm Inner Diameter (ID) rubber hose.
What is the maximum pressure these connectors can handle?
They can withstand a constant running pressure of 5 bar (72psi) and a maximum pressure of 7 bar (101psi).
What type of seal is used in these connectors?
The connectors feature an O-ring seal made from FKM (Viton), known for its excellent resistance to fuels and chemicals.
Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?
Yes, they have an operating temperature range from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F).
How do I disconnect the fuel line from the connector?
To disconnect, press the grey tab on the connector inwards and then pull the fuel line away from the connector.
What does the grey tab signify?
The grey tab is used for fuel identification, helping to distinguish connections within a fuel system.
Are these connectors universal for all fuel lines?
No, they are specifically designed for 8mm nylon pipe and 7.5mm ID rubber hose, and meet SAE J2044-220908 standards. Always verify compatibility with your specific application.
Troubleshooting
Connector does not click into place.
Ensure the fuel line is the correct size (8mm nylon or 7.5mm ID rubber) and that the end is clean and free of burrs. Verify the connector is properly aligned.
Leak detected at the connection point.
Disconnect and reconnect the fitting, ensuring it clicks securely. Inspect the fuel line end and the connector's O-ring for damage or debris. If damaged, the connector may need replacement.
Difficulty in disconnecting the connector.
Ensure the grey tab is fully depressed while pulling the connector. If stuck, gently rock the connector while pulling. Avoid excessive force.
Connector cracks or breaks.
This may indicate material fatigue or exposure to extreme temperatures or incompatible chemicals. Replace the damaged connector and ensure the operating environment is within specified limits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the ends of the fuel lines (8mm nylon pipe or 7.5mm ID rubber hose) are clean and free from debris.
- Push the connector firmly onto the corresponding fuel line until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure engagement.
- To disconnect, press the grey tab inwards and pull the connector away.
Compatibility:
- Designed for 8mm nylon fuel lines and 7.5mm Inner Diameter (ID) rubber fuel hoses.
- Suitable for systems operating within -40°C to 120°C and pressures up to 5 bar (running) / 7 bar (max).
- Complies with SAE J2044-220908 standards, ensuring compatibility with other SAE J2044-220908 compliant fittings.
Care:
- Inspect connectors regularly for any signs of damage or wear.
